This girl spent their recent weekend on Las Vegas. I'm happy for her. She said in her email, she had been bugging (sorry for the term ,girl) her husband to go there but then he didn't want to and only just last week that she had convinced him. Good on her! I bet they had a good time - I'll wait for her news. Anyway, I know that it's easy to get accommodations there and there is cheap hotel Las Vegas. I'm sure my friend doesn't have to choose them.

Long Overdue Tags
I've been tagged by Arlene but it took me soo long to do them - sorry sis I've been a slack these days, seems on a holiday mood. Anyway...
Thoughts on Christmas
-------- Start copy here:
Christmas to me is a special time to ponder the great love God has done to us by giving us His Son to be born in Bethlehem long time ago. So, this season is a time for sharing and giving love to everyone. I feel that everyone is happy on Christmas time. Yeah, pressures on holiday expenses may bother us but if you have to remember the true essence of Christmas - you just can’t help but feel happy to know that you have made your loved one, your next door neighbor, the inmates, the homeless, the orphans, or anyone happy because you give love on Christmas day. —Dancing in Midlife Tune/ Sunshineforlife.
I've long past the worldly mentality of Christmas. For me now, it is the birthday of Jesus Christ and it doesn't matter how we celebrate it.. what's important is what is inside our heart and mind. As much as possible I don't want to give into the commercialism of this holiday nor be extra good because I want to be good, giving, loving, etc everyday. I just want to feel special and be thankful on this day because God has given us a brother to redeem us from our sins. - Permance In Change
Loved Ones Lost
I've got lost loved ones but it was when I was young so I really didn't have the opportunity to bond with them. I can't remember my relationship with them. And I am thankful that I haven't experience a devastating loss and I don't want to. And as much as possible, I want to be the person that my loved ones expect me to be and I want to be good to them so I won't have any regrets when they're out of this world.

Smurf in the Backyard
One warm afternoon, went out the backyard to have a breath of fresh air.
The little boy doesn't want to feel little so Mummy placed his "bumbo" on a delapidated backyard chair.
Then it started to drizzle, "hurry up inside for my beanie Mum".
"Birds are twitting, wanting their food. I look up the sky, and there they are perch on the electric cable. "
"Careful Bub that Magpie won't pluck your eyes."
Mum said, I'm too adorable that paparazzi swarmed in.
When it was time to take my beanie off, I'm already sweatin'. Sunday, December 2
The Santa 'Clause'
I didn't knew then that Tim Allen is a comedian, heck I don't even know who Tim Allen was. I think, the first time that his name registered to my mind was when I saw him in Dame Edna's show. But still I don't know what are the movies that he starred.
Then, I saw the movie Christmas with the Kranks and I found it hilarious. I'm the kind who is less interested with movies with stars that I don't know, I seem can't relate or identify myself to it. I enjoyed more watching a movie, even if it's slightly boring, if I know the stars moreso, if it has my favorites. This one, I took MCJ's word for it for being a nice movie. Thanks to him, I love it that we watched another Tim Allen's movie - The Santa Clause.
The Santa Clause appealed to my inner kid, as said in the movie. I wasn't laughing the entire time but I felt good watching it. As a matter of fact, like the Christmas with the Kranks, I recorded it also to watch it over and over again.
Anyway, imagine yourself being Santa, going from one place to another to give gifts - wouldn't you get tired? Imagine also, what would you look like after passing through a very small chimney (for the toilets) because the house has no fireplace, just a heater? What about Christmas in OZ, where it is summer - where would Santa pass? Maybe, he'll just knock on the door. It's a lot of hardwork to look for chimney.
But it is more hardwork for the elves. Making all those gifts and wrapping them. Fortunately for them, they are in herds as to number so work is divided.

Are you playing santa this season or on the receiving end? If you're the earlier, have you finished your list yet? If you have sunglasses in your list, don't wait for the elves to make it for you - head on to a store like Opticsplanet - a store that has the biggest bag of goodies for this season especially optics. With all the list of gifts that the elves prepared for this year, yours might land on the QC next year. :)

Pro-blogging Activities
Tagged by Mich. Sorry girl, it took me too long to post.
Instruction:
1.Please share the reason/s why you decided to post ads/paid posts. State how your earning is helping you in any way.
2.Pass it 2 bloggers/publishers only.
3.After my name, list ALL your monetized blogs.If you have more than one blog, add the next blogs by using numbers only(such as 1,2,3 see my example)instead of long links.
4.Use the button,but please no direct linking.
5.I would really appreciate it if you could drop me a line should you decide to entertain this tag. I would like to pay you a visit and add you on my list.
My take...
I started my pro-blogging activities when I saw some of my friends do. I reckon, it's really nice to earn money while you blog but of course, I have to maintain my usual personal posts. So far, I've earned quite good. I spend my hard earned money on anything, but as much as possible to something that will last or I can use always - sort of souvenir. I'm looking forward to Christmas shopping where I'll spend some too! Because of my hectic routine, I just blog whenever I can, not really grabbing opps. I'm thankful though with those companies that apportioned opps.

Baby Books, Christmas, New Look
I was planning to subscribe for baby books here. I found an insert in the magazine that I bought two months ago - the store has a promo sort of like buy two get two free with days trial. It was a very attractive offer - not so dear, I reckon compared to the prices of baby books that I saw in some stores. It was two months ago when I liked the offer. I haven't made a move. I was not stalling yet I'm not in a hurry either.
Then yesterday, I was able to drop by the second hand book shop - I've been wanting to for months now, to check if there are second hand baby books available. I don't mind buying second hand books as long as they're recent series and in good condition. Look here, $6 for four books. Not bad eh!
But I'm still thinking of subscribing for some baby's first book. The offer is still standing.

I tried to read to our Big Guy this morning and I can't even finish one page. He wanted to flip the pages himself. He likes the noise that flipping and crumpling papers make. As a matter of fact, that's his new toy. :)) If he'll carry-on like this for years, we won't spend a penny for a toy! Whooppeeeee! Talking of a scrooge Mummy. lol.

It's December! It's my third in OZ but I can't really feel the yuletide season. Maybe because it's hot? I wish of a white Christmas. I wish I'm home - not that there is snow there. :)

There wont be any decor at home. I want to get away on the day - if I get lucky!

Black is beautiful, they say! So, I succumb to it, hence the new look. This is a big change for me who loves light colors - but Im loving it!
New Sleeping Position
Since birth, Baby Ian used to sleep like this but recently, he had been sleeping on different positions. He would sometimes sleep on his side, ready to roll-over. Yeah, when he's alone in the room when he wakes up, tendency is to roll-over - either looking for food or he wants to play.
This was the latest. It was a funny story how did he end up in this position. See that white cloth he's holding? That's his chuck-up cloth. I reckon, he goes to sleep faster if he has that, so when I put him on his bed, I placed it across his chest while his arms were on his side. A short while later, he moved his arms up taking the cloth with them covering his face. He was fumbling and shaking his head to get rid of the cloth so I went for a rescue. He then decided to roll on his side. I had to haul MCJ from the bed to see this position and had to play paparazzo again. MCJ said, he got this sleeping position from me. :)

Talking of sleep and bed, there are really lots of bedroom furnitures shops around our area, second to light fixtures shop, I think. Oh well, this is good for the shoppers as you can shop around and get the best price for the furniture that you really want. Plus you can see various available bed styles there are like adjustable beds, inflatable beds, poster beds, canopy, etc. As we spend almost half the time of our life in bed, for me it is important that you have a bed that gives you good sleep though there are more important factors than that inorder to have a good night rest. :)
